This business unit has just put a new glass furnace into operation to support the use of inline-fast-molding technology, which will permit large-scale production of optical components such as concentrators/ light pipes from the material immediately as it comes from the furnace.

Docter Optics is also the world market and technology leader in a further area of business: The company ships over 20 million aspheres and free-form lenses per year for automotive projection headlights (LED, xenon and halogen). This permits an uninterrupted flow of synergistic effects from this area of activity to other business units.
